The beginning of the agricultural and economic science foundaton in historical aspect is studied in the article. The stages of its formation and development in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutiya) are reviewed. The paper presents some well-known scientists-agricultural economists who have made a significant contribution to the science and education of the Republic. A brief overview of their researches is shown. The article focuses on the need for enhanced capacity-building for the activity of regional economic research. Particularly, it is necessary to significantly enhance the intellectual potential of scientists in terms of selecting and evaluating priority areas of social and economic researches on the AIC development, including food safety governance. The study highlights that agricultural science plays an important role in solving the main tasks of providing food safety. The authors concluded that it is necessary to sustain regional science aimed at creating a local food base in the Far North.

The food safety security (FSS) concept is perceived as an early warning system for minimizing food safety (FS) breaches, and it functions in conjunction with existing FS measures. Essentially, the function of FS and FSS measures can be visualized in two parts: (i) the FS preventive measures as actions taken at the stem level, and (ii) the FSS interventions as actions taken at the root level, to enhance the impact of the implemented safety steps. In practice, along with FS, FSS also draws its support from (i) legislative directives and regulatory measures for enforcing verifiable, timely, and effective compliance; (ii) measurement systems in place for sustained quality assurance; and (iii) shared responsibility to ensure cohesion among all the stakeholders namely, policy makers, regulators, food producers, processors and distributors, and consumers. However, the functional framework of FSS differs from that of FS by way of: (i) retooling the vulnerable segments of the preventive features of existing FS measures; (ii) fine-tuning response systems to efficiently preempt the FS breaches; (iii) building a long-term nutrient and toxicant surveillance network based on validated measurement systems functioning in real time; (iv) focusing on crisp, clear, and correct communication that resonates among all the stakeholders; and (v) developing inter-disciplinary human resources to meet ever-increasing FS challenges. Important determinants of FSS include: (i) strengthening international dialogue for refining regulatory reforms and addressing emerging risks; (ii) developing innovative and strategic action points for intervention {in addition to Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) procedures]; and (iii) introducing additional science-based tools such as metrology-based measurement systems.
